After cremation, you might want to store the ashes in an urn, possibly placing it in your home for a while. This serves as a meaningful method to hold onto memories of your loved one as you grieve.

Eventually, most families seek a permanent resting place for their deceased loved one, where they can privately pay their respects. One straightforward option is burying the cremated remains.

You can inquire with our staff about obtaining a space in the urn garden. Many cemeteries offer urn gardens, which are landscaped plots designed for the permanent placement of urns.

Another option is to bury the cremated remains in a traditional cemetery plot. A benefit of this choice is that, since urns are smaller than caskets, many cemeteries permit multiple family members to be buried in the same plot, creating a shared family burial area.

Besides burial, another option for providing a permanent resting place for cremated remains is interring them in a columbarium, an above-ground structure designed for this purpose. A columbarium typically consists of small spaces called niches, each large enough for one urn. Families can also purchase a cluster of niches if they wish to be memorialized in close proximity.

Understanding the available options can help you make informed decisions about providing a permanent resting place for your loved one's cremated remains.
